The aim of this workshop is to increase your confidence in identifying compound words and knowing how they fit into word families.

Many teachers worry about how to decide what is and isn’t a compound beyond the obvious ones like handbag.

And if handbag is a compound what about shopping bag or string bag?

And how do we know whether it’s ice cream, ice-cream or icecream?

  • <handbag>, <leadership>, <battleship>, <carpet>, <universe>, <water bottle>, <kidnap>? 
  • What actually is a compound word?
